Alicia Garza Instagram – The break I needed…between running an organization, taking care of my dad who is dying of pancreatic cancer, trying to remain hopeful and clear and hold the big picture while navigating a world that is heartbreakingly cruel and unjust, life has been a lot. A lot of days feel like one foot in front of the other but I was committed to getting on that plane. I’m glad I did. Barbados, you owe me absolutely nothing. Thank you for letting me soak up your sun, cleanse in your waters, and thank you for reminding me that always everywhere all the time there is joy and the infinite possibilities for freedom. Thank you to my most gracious host for creating space for me to breathe. Even your mosquitos were mostly kind.
